Thinking about buying

I'm in the market looking for a decent GTP.
Can you guys shed some light for me as to what the weak spots are and what to avoid.
I'm going to look at a 01 GTP 2 door this weekend and would like to be more informed about these cars.
Any tips appreciated!

Re: Thinking about buying

Usual stuff when buying any car of course. As well watch for a sagging ass end, usually means it was driven hard. The blower - listen for any big rattles or anything that would indicate bad bearings. That is about all I can think of. Has it been modified at all that you know of?

Re: Thinking about buying

Thanks guys!
As far as I know the car is stock.
Can't wait to drive/see it.

I just passed on a 99 GTP 4 door for 6 grand.Price was right but it had
200,000 km's on it.
The back of the block was a bit wet.
I also noted that the drivers side CV boot was cracked. Both mufflers also had cracks on the welds.
Apart from that, the car hauled serious ass. Felt really strong.The tranny had smooth shifts when I got on it. All switches worked and the interior was mint.

Re: Thinking about buying

I bought a 2002 2 door GT a few months ago and absolutely love it. I couldnt find a 2 door GTP for a price i could afford so i settled for a GT in great shape and dont regret a thing. good luck hunting.

Thinking about buying

I was thinking about buying a membership, but since posting on this forum has become a bit rarer over time I was to ask if anyone thought it was still worth it. Is there still enough stuff out there to do to justify getting it?
